these where tough cookies. and hagler broke down and destroyed them all. jones never really took it on the chin until the tarver fight (and sorry but he wasnt shot in the tarver fights because he never had a tough fight before them, he finally fought someone who wasnt totally intimidated bye his speed enough to try and land his own punches). hagler would be all over jones from round one and i dont think roy had the chin to survive hagler's pressure.
What do you mean Jones didn't have competition ??
